IF YOU ASK A STUPID QUESTION

 

Joshua was caught talking to a friend during assembly

“What do you call a person” asked the headmaster

“Who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested”? 

Joshua thought and to great applause he said “A teacher”   

THE MAN AINT GOT NO CULTURE

 

My friend reads cheap fiction

Consuming it like a vulture

But he’s not a stupid man

He simply has no culture

In fact, the closest he gets

To any form of cultural flirt

Would be when he partakes

In his favourite yogurt

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 36

 

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean

And so, to please the two of them

They eat vegetarian cuisine

PUT DOWN # 35

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

“If you’re looking for loving” he might say

“Then I’m definitely your man”

Just reply to him “Sorry, but after meeting you

I'm thinking of becoming a lesbian”

SENIOR COLUMN

 

I wake up in the morning

But don’t get out of bed

Until I’ve read the obit’s

And made sure that I’m not dead

THE FAMILY WAY

 

I loved her right from the start

Willingly gave her all my heart

And when she walked down the aisle

I could do nothing at all but smile

 

When we moved into our flat

I thought to myself, that was that

Once we had our home together

We would just grow old together

 

Then I saw the pregnancy tester

When she had reached the first Trimester

And then came another level of joy

We would have a little girl of boy

 

Now I may have tended to fuss

My devotion may have been uxorious

But she was all important in my life

So, I fussed around my primiparous wife

 

And when the great day finally came

We still hadn’t even settled on a name

But our daughter blessed our union

And I had two loves to dote upon

BINGO, BANGO, BONGO

 

I will call up my Dolly

To be alone would be folly

Perhaps I’ll call Holly

But should I call Polly

Or little miss Molly

To call all might be a folly

But an interesting volley

What a prospect by golly
